Hi,
Coming from a Windows phone it was possible to listen to my music on my car stereo and have Near maps giving me directions.
It seems with Google Andriod I have to switch my car stereo to Bluetooth device to get voice turn by turn directions and no music.
Is this the case ? Or can I have both music and voice directions at the same time ?
cheers
On my us997 G6 I can have both. When the map gives voice guidance it pauses the music and then resumes when maps is quite.
Thanks thats good to know.
Is your setup using the car stereo for music or your phone ?
In my case the music was on in the car stereo.
cheers

It plays both music and navigation through the car speakers.

Are you playing music using the car stereo or your phone?

As far as I know and experienced it only works with both coming from your phone to the car speakers.
Maybe depends on the car setup, but if I play music on the car with USB no audio from the phone via Bluetooth.
Aaah okay, thats the problem, and thats how Windows phone works, Car stereo music and voice navigation from the phone.
Also can Android voice text messages and can you reply to them ? Another thing I miss from Windows phone.
Hi!
I'm using Sony MEX-N5100BT bluetooth car radio. I can both listen to music and use navigation with voice directions without any problems. I'm using Spotify, when the music is playing and voice direction is played, music's volume is turned down a bit and then returns to normal value.
I have to use "Bluetooth audio" mode in the radio, then all of the Media sounds are streamed only on the radio (music, games, youtube, navigation), and all notifications and ringtones are played both on the phone from the loudspeaker and streamed to the radio at the same time.
What music player are you using?
Some of them have separate setting where when there is sound interruption from different app the music pauses for second instead of being played quieter a little bit. I had such option back in the days in PowerAMP.
About text messages and replying - I'm not 100% sure about the reading option, probably radio-dependent... AFAIR Sony's companion app for the radio has it but it works in English, not in Polish.
But I have some sort of Google Now integration in my radio, I can press the button on volume jog and Google Now launches, waiting for me to say the command, f.e. "SMS to ***"
My Car stereo is an Apline CDE-W235EBT thats what I play music on.
cheers

Maybe Windows phone uses the voice protocol for the voice directions on navigation, that's how it could interrupt your music you are playing on your car.
Android uses the media protocol for voice directions/music and the voice protocol for phone calls I think.
Is it such a big deal for you to play the music from your phone, so you would have the feature you want?
Thanks, krysden
It's more convenient to use the car stereo than the phone for music. I turn the key, engine starts, music starts and I'm on my way.

well the title is clear, my car Mercedes Benz take my Advantage as its phone, i tranfered my contacts and i dial and talk using the car, i was thinking maybe instead of burning the songs i have on my advantage i would just play them of the advantage using the phone system and speakers of the cars, so far i tried audio toggle which works fine with my jabra to transfer sound from and to headset but when connectect to my car it does't work, now i noticed that while the music is supposed to be playing from the car, and i dial any number i get the music appearing for a second from the car system before it actialy starts ringing on the other side or what where, which means if there is a way to suggest to my car that its actually calling someone while its not it could play music from my car system, can anyone scratch there head with me, also know the services found on the car are Handsfree BT profile not more
Finally got bluetooth in my car stereo and reviewed some threads prior to posting, but not sure anyone asked / answered the question I have. I'm basically wondering how people are using their bluetooth stereo's. From what I can tell so far I have 2 options.
1. Phone pairs, i listen to my car stereo and if a phone call comes in the stereo picks up the call if i say, and upon completion back to my car stereo
2. Phone pairs, put the car into BT Audio mode and stream audio from my phone including phone calls.
The problem is, i'm looking for a way to combine both. For example I'd like to be able to listen to my car stereo, and if i get a notification i hear it over the radio, not just phone calls. I haven't tried yet, but i'm guessing the nav will be the same way, if i'm listening to the stereo and running nav on my phone i will get no turn by turn like i would if i was listening to music on my phone and running nav.
Is there a way to do this? Am I missing something? I have the Sony Xplōd™ MEX-BT3900U. Is this a limitation of my stereo, or just not how most people use their bluetooth?
I just ordered a replacement radio as well with BT support. I'd be curious wth what other people have to say with experience as well.
I use this all the time.
Both options will work provided the head unit you bought supports media streaming.
Your phone will connect both phone and media over Bluetooth. You listen to your media and if a call comes in you can take it while the media is paused. Media will resume after call completed.
Notifications and navigation will pause and resume media as needed.

I've found the quality of the audio over bluetooth to be very degraded. Have a rear AUX 1/8th port and run a cable to mount, Then use BT headset for all if need be, but have Pandora playing Excision & Downlink radio the entire time
Hi!
I just started using Sygic as navigation software for my S4.
I'm alway listening to music with bluetooth audio in my car. Now the navigation voice comes through the same audio stream. (Music Stops, Navigation Sound appears, Music resumes). Ok ... but I want to force the Navigation sound to the Phone Speaker and listen to Music only via Bluetooth audio.
It seems, that isn't possible at actual android devices? If i activate Phone Speaker in Sygic Settings, also Music goes trough Phone speaker.
Is there any possibility or APP to split that up? Navigation through Phone Speaker / Music trough Bluetooth?
Or is any other Navigation Software able to do that? I'm not sure .. is it an general Android problem or specific sygic issue...
Thank's a lot in advance!

Scenario I'd like to see:
Wired Headphones plugged in
Bluetooth connected to audio receiver
Music plays through audio receiver
Calls go through wired headphones
If a call comes in it pauses the music app and transfers audio to headset. As soon as call complete music continues.
I can get this to work on my Scotts Clean Rom Note 2 and iPhone 5 fine but I can't seem to find a setting or app that can allow this behavior.
Why?
I much prefer hearing music through my car speakers and if I get a call it's much easier to hear and talk through the wired headset.
Anyone else have this use case? Figured out an answer?
Just a thought since I haven't tired this yet.... What happens when you turn off phone audio(but leave media) for the car in the bluetooth settings on the phone?

Gave it a try, still reverted to headphones.
Thanks though!
When I get in my car the phone connects to Bluetooth for calls media and contacts. Exactly what it's supposed to do. My question is does anybody know how to route notifications to play through the phone speaker and not Bluetooth.
Google Maps has a setting in it that routes audio through the phone speaker instead of my car's speaker via Bluetooth but every other notification doesn't play from the phone.
I want to be able to listen to my radio but still hear my notifications. And I know I can press the volume button and switch the output but that doesn't help me because sometimes I listen to Pandora and want the output through Bluetooth.

Have the same "problem"
Bump!
I'm interested in this as well. My car is "older" (2015) and has no Android Auto support, so customizing what goes to speaker and what goes via Bluetooth.
